• Ensuring proper installation of:
  • Fiber optic cable, splice cases, cabinets, and splitters
  • Bonding and grounding of messenger strand
  • XWDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) components
• Performing quality control checks on active construction projects
• Supporting contractors by answering questions related to design prints and specifications
• Interpreting engineering drawings for:
  • Aerial cable placement
  • Underground routing
  • Splicing procedures
• Working with permitting agencies and understanding Right-of-Way (ROW) requirements (DOT, city, county, railroad, etc.)
• Coordinating with engineering teams to ensure designs meet project standards

Required Qualifications

We are open to entry-level candidates, but you must have a foundation in telecom or construction-related environments.

• Basic understanding of Outside Plant (OSP) networks
• Exposure to fiber optics, telecom, or cable infrastructure
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings or construction prints
• Familiarity with FTTH / FTTx network concepts
• Strong organizational and time management skills
• Proficiency with basic computer tools (Microsoft Office, etc.)

Preferred (Nice-to-Have) Skills

These are not required but will help you stand out:

• Experience with:
  • AutoCAD, QGIS, or Google Earth
  • OSP construction standards and design practices
  • MDU (Multi-Dwelling Unit) design and construction
• Knowledge of:
  • Right-of-Way (ROW) processes and permitting
  • Cost estimation for OSP projects
• Exposure to:
  • Microduct fiber systems
  • Flexnap or Hexatronics solutions

What You'll Gain

• Work on large-scale fiber network deployments in a high-growth environment
• Remote flexibility while supporting real infrastructure builds
• Opportunity to grow into more advanced telecom engineering roles
• Exposure to cutting-edge fiber technologies and design practices

Pay & Benefits

$27-$34/hour (based on experience)
Eligible contractors may receive:

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with pre-tax and Roth options
• Life insurance & disability coverage
